Denver Furniture Retailer AURA Modern Home Measures 186 Bed Frames and Publishes a Free Bed Size Chart
Denver, Colorado – October 24, 2026 – Furniture retailer AURA Modern Home today published a Bed Size Chart that measures what a bed actually takes up in a room. Across 186 bed frames in its catalog, the median frame runs 6.5″ wider and 7″ longer than its mattress, and a median king frame covers 49.6 square feet, 71% of the 70 square foot minimum the International Residential Code sets for a habitable room.
The chart pairs standard mattress dimensions from the Better Sleep Council with frame data AURA computed from its own listings. Storage beds with gas lifts add a median of about 9″ of width, while platform beds add about 5″. With 30″ of walking space on both sides and at the foot, the width of the ADA clear floor space beside a bed, a median queen bed needs about 103 square feet of floor and a median king about 116.
“People measure the room against the mattress, then the bed arrives and it doesn’t fit,” said Todd Harmon, owner of AURA Modern Home. “The mattress is a standard. The frame isn’t. We had the dimensions for every bed we sell, so we ran the numbers and put them where anyone can use them.”
The page includes a free bed fit calculator, a downloadable dataset, and charts that writers and designers may reuse with credit under a CC BY 4.0 license.
